WW II German Air Force - NAVIGATIONAL SEXTANT / OKTANT - Fl. 23750 - VERY NICE

Description

You are bidding on a SUPERB and VERY RARE example of a 100% WW2 German Luftwaffe Navigational Sextant / Oktant, Fl. 23750, as used in many bombers and transports throughout WW2!
The Luftwaffe Oktant was used by aircrews for long range flights.
It provided accurate reading, using sidereal (star) navigation.
Made of aluminum and steel,
this is a SUPERB German Oktant in all original condition with its original box!  Manufactured by C. Plath of Hamburg, it features the original Fl. label, and clearly indicates,
Fl. 23750.
The instrument dates later in the war, probably between 1943 and 1945.
Some slight marks and scratches, but nothing that takes away from the overall appearance.
It measures approx. 11.5" in length, and comes complete in the original box!
Also included are various spare parts, as well as the original (and hard to find) eyepiece!  I am not sure if it is functional, so I am selling as-is, and will leave the functionality determination to the winning bidder.
One plastic part is broken, but it does not affect the function.  Latches on the wood box have broken (see last photo).
I have shown this EXACT type in use in the last photos.
Would make a FANTASTIC addition to any collection, or display!
Please email me if you need additional photos or information.

------------------- TERMS OF SALE -----------------
Most of my items are vintage, and as such are AS-IS, so you must therefore expect a degree of wear due to age and/or usage. I will describe each auction to the best of my knowledge and take as many photos necessary to ensure you are pleased upon receiving your item. All sales are final, so please make sure your questions are answered to your satisfaction before you purchase.
------------------- ABOUT ME -----------------
Although my passion is the Me109, I do offer many other German Aircraft (Fw190, Me262, etc.), as well as USAF and Japanese items. Occasionally I do offer many non-vintage items such as prints and art relating to the time period. As a private collector myself, I am constantly on the lookout for historical memorabilia, authentic photographs, artwork or anything unique relating to military aircraft.
